Eldridge Hardie grew up in Texas between a Hill Country ranch and El Paso. After his uncle, a commercial illustrator, inspired him to take up painting, Hardie attended art school at Washington University in St. Louis. In 1966 he settled in Denver and has enjoyed a long and successful career as a sporting and wildlife artist.
“In a sense, a sporting artist must be three painters in one, rendering convincing landscapes, dogs and wildlife that are both accurate in detail and lively, and believable human figures,” Grudowski writes. “It’s little surprise that Hardie’s immersion in the sporting life that he paints--his intuitive feel for his subjects--strikes a chord.”
Hardie’s paintings can be found in the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming, the Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, Wisconsin, the National Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction, Tennessee, and the El Paso Museum of Art, to name several important collections and institutions that support and exhibit the artist’s work. Hardie has been Artist of the Year for the Atlantic Salmon Federation and Trout Unlimited, and Featured Artist at the Plantation Wildlife Arts Festival and the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, among other honors.
